Hi, anyone know / reccomend a good courier or furniture collection service or as an alternative able to lend me a van for a day? I've bought a large heavy piece of furniture (an old church pew) on ebay which is located in shrewsbury and I live in east notts just off the A1. PM me or post if you can help.
thanks

There's also ANYVAN too.
Unfortunately, I have no dealings with this so can't advise, it's another option though.

Do you know the exact size of the pew? I might be able to help but the van is racked out so depends on the size!

Cheers Lee. Had a few quotes on Shiply. £80 to fetch it, load and deliver. Seems like a deal to me versus hiring a van and driving myself and doing the 5 hour round trip |
